I don't know what this says about me, but my first thought when Jim suggested the name was watching Lawrence Welk at my grandparents' house... "Why are you laughing? This is GREAT MUSIC!" --John Mark
Why does everyone say they watched Lawrence Welk at their grandparents' house? I'm beginning to think is a way of disguising their own secret fondness for ... champagne music.
And then there is Stan Freberg's hilarious record parodying Lawrence Welk, with . . . Tha lovely-a Lemon-a Sisters, Stoney Stonedwell, and ... Turn off-a tha bubble-a machine!
Well, Frank, we are certainly of an age. I received the same link and the Elizabeth Taylor movie is the first thing I thought of, too.
